Laudrup confirms Getafe exit

Fri 16th, May 2008

Getafe, Spain (Sports Network) - Getafe coach Michael Laudrup has confirmed he will walk away from the club in the summer after just one season.

The Dane has been linked with several higher-profile jobs at La Liga clubs and will end his brief reign at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez following Sunday's last league match against Real Betis.

Laudrup, who replaced Real Madrid-bound Bernd Schuster last summer, led Getafe to the semifinals of the UEFA Cup during a successful season.

"I said that whilst we had not secured our Primera Liga status I was not going to say anything," he said. "Now that we are safe it is normal that everyone looks a little towards themselves.

"I already told the president (Angel Torres) yesterday that I had finished my cycle at the club, or call it what you will, so that the president and the club have the maximum time to look for a replacement.

"I told him that I was very grateful for giving me the opportunity.

"It has been a great experience. It feels like I have not spent only eight or nine months here, but much more time."
